NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Stupid Time Warner hasn't upgraded my area, so HALF of my zipcode is getting BBC America HD next week, and the other half, MY half, isn't. BBC America's offices are like 4 miles from here, in Toluca Lake, I could walk over and watch it there!!! What do we get added? Weather Channel HD. Thanks, that's really the same f'ing thing.

Thanks for the heads up though, I'll be DVRing the SD version as it's still better than watching it on youtube. :p

They're still showing it on the regular BBCA channel aren't they? The last one was...

Yes, I checked to be sure, but I'd MUUUUUCH rather have the HD version considering Time Warner is giving the other half of my zipcode it just in time.

Waters of Mars

I found Waters of Mars the other day on YouTube--it's a fine, fine story, particularly the twist at the very end.

Gah! BBC America should be kicked in the face. They aired Planet of the Dead again tonight, only the edited a bunch of stuff including a little sub-plot about a psychic and her premonition for the Doctor. What the hell? I expect that crap from cheap channels that don't give a care about the material, not the actual company who produced the thing!

The episode itself was incredibly mediocre too, but might have had more flavor if not for some rude chopping.

I watched Waters of Mars in SD last night (I zoomed the TV to fill the whole screen at least). HOLY CRAP was that good! The monster bit was fairly cheesy, but damn if the acting and writing with most of the characters wasn't a true driving force for the whole series. Some of the dramatic moments towards the end really got to me, and it's going to be hard to watch Tennant say goodbye to this part, this is the sort of material he should have had more of lately.

This one was longer than an hour, but I think there was still a little bit edited out. I was reading a write-up about it and didn't remember any mention of the Ice Warriors.

Waters of Mars was excellent. It showed the Dr trying to be a God and it backfiring brionging him down to earth.

It wasnt edited at all. I saw a copy of it from when it aired in England last month. And they did mention the ice warriors in it this weekend JT.

Dont forget next Saturday night they are showing The End of Time part 1 at 9pm on BBCAM. Its one day after they get it in England, which is a great turn around for us in the states.
